COOKOO 2.0: The Connected Watch That Blends Fashion and Function

Introducing COOKOO 2.0: A New Era of Smartwatches

COOKOO aims to make the smartwatch more accessible to a larger public and a more natural experience for the user. Uniting classic analog movement and intuitive digital notifications, COOKOO brings together the power of connectivity with the sophistication of a traditional timepiece. Wearing a COOKOO is as natural as wearing a conventional watch, yet offering the important benefits of connectivity. COOKOO frees users from continually checking their phone with essential notifications delivered, at a glance, on the wrist. Powered by a traditional button-cell battery, COOKOO also frees users from the burden of bulky chargers and tangled power cords.

Unlike other geeky smartwatches, COOKOO looks like a conventional watch. The analog hands sit above a lucid digital display that provides notifications through vivid icons and a versatile dot matrix screen. COOKOO delivers essential notifications, at a glance, directly to the wrist. Unlike other smartwatches, COOKOO does not need to be recharged every night or week. A traditional button-cell battery guarantees many months of uninterrupted power without a charge. When necessary, the battery can be easily replaced by the user.

COOKOO's unique design and functionality set it apart from other smartwatches on the market. With a display type that combines analog and digital elements, COOKOO offers the best of both worlds. The watch features six LCD icons on the dial, a dot matrix display for enhanced notifications, and Japanese analog movement with luminescent hands. The watch's case is made of nickel-free stainless steel with an anti-scratch and ultra-transparent magnified hardened mineral glass face. The band options include nylon or silicone, providing comfort and style.

In terms of technical specifications, COOKOO boasts Bluetooth Smart Technology, making it compatible with iOS7 and select Android 4.3/4.4 Bluetooth SMART-ready devices. The watch is water-resistant up to 10 ATM, ensuring durability and functionality in various environments. COOKOO is available in a range of colors, including blue, green, purple, silver, black, and white, allowing users to express their personal style.

COOKOO's interaction with the user is seamless and intuitive. When linked with the smartphone or tablet app, users can customize settings based on their priorities and select which notifications will appear on the watch face. Users can see who is calling or messaging and decide whether to answer or mute it. Icons can alert users when they have an email or a message on social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Line, WeChat, WhatsApp, and more. The easy-to-use interface also allows users to trigger their camera, control their music, and locate their phone.

COOKOO is the result of a collaborative effort by CONNECTEDEVICE Ltd.'s global team, including industrial designers in Europe, software engineers in the USA, and hardware manufacturing specialists in Asia. The design was inspired by the desire to create a smartwatch that seamlessly blends fashion and function, providing users with a useful complement to their smartphones without dramatically changing their relationship with the wristwatch. COOKOO's app allows users to customize notifications and alerts based on their priorities, ensuring a personalized experience.

Recognized for its outstanding design, COOKOO 2.0 was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2014. This prestigious award acknowledges COOKOO's remarkable level of excellence, innovation, and technical characteristics. COOKOO's design showcases a perfect balance between functionality and artistic skill, introducing a new era of smartwatches that captivate and inspire.
